Hut the day of d 'pirlnrn came. The wild youth relented ; his joy ut the da.ling prospect of the Irtie stiident-lifi) was greatly damped by tho thought of leaving bis loved parents, his sinter, dear to him beyond all others; and when separation wasiimvit-i-blo, when but a single niht intervened hoiweeii hii wontd life ut the paternal castle, and a world com plotely new to bun, then his heart smote him, nnd, with a fetding of solemnity, ha nsked his sister to follow htm to her room. Htio went with him, ami stepped buck amazed ; for on tho t ihltt by which she had often s it with her brother, stood n fine largo bird cngo, and within worn two most clurmirig reddish-gray wild dovea, wiin black rings about iheir neck, which cooed , friendly at ihe sight l her brother, when lie, opening the cage, first calling the male by the name of Altred. c-iund it lo hop on his linger, and reached it over to his sHt-r; then drew out llm feathered Liddy, nnd placed it mi the shoulder of its now smiliii'.' tmniesako. Tho pretty creatines fluttered their wita-s tunic ibly, and took, when Alfred had shown Liddy how, n cmi-plu nf grains cunningly from between the maiden's lips and lingers. Allred h id, some timn bet-ire, (hiring one ol bis expeditions to the mminlaius, iimdo ihetn prisuners, not without risk, and to tame them, to rear them, and with inexpressible c;ire, to leach them all sorts nf little trtuks, for the amusement of his sister, had heen the sweet employment of his li.niri of l'isuru. Now lid mule iliem a pro sunt to hit nUtor, and Alfred, in the tfuisn of a dove, should live ne ir Imr, w hen the aetus.1 Allied should be lar, far away. Mobbing, Liddy fell up 'tl his heck, and only tho unceasing grief, which, during theso days filled her heart. Iliu-! dered her from showing her joy at n present which caused her such deep euioiiou. Alfred now took the I cage, nail hung it kindly at the embowered window of! the little apartin.-iit. ! The following day bo net nil" mi his journey.

To hr it was no longer poasihlo in find room lor joy in her oppressed heart ; nay, she did not seem lii believe lint tl of whom she had been so mo'iriiluHy deprived, would again return, that she would see him once more. At this time, the rainy season, hr night mi by the cipiinoctial storm, set in ; the llo.idgntes of the clouds Seemed open, the waters were swollen on the mountains, the streams rose, and Liddy ir ndded fur her brother, now mi his homeward way. Mis last hitler fixed his arrival for tho foil owing "veiling, bat tint rain would not cease.

It was the day which should bring Alfred. All Ihe hoiS( hold rejoiend. Liddy alone, on Ihat day when the Iiillillmi iil of all her wishes seemed clone id h ind, was inure dejected than ever.

Fiver more iimmiy hecuino ihe parents and tin domestics the news ut tlm rising of the waters more alarming, i Uusk came, still no Allred. At this moment tho lores ter entered. I ho bond hail turn away tho dam end i oriiipn ; tawnids llio plain, everything was under wa- tor. The vomit? master could not possibly arrive that day it would beat the riakuf neck, of life ; and since he was not hero yet, he had probably remained in dm 1 nearest town, through which hit road led him. "Uhl Uh!" icronmed L'ddy nt that moment, and throw her-1 self with convulsive force bark upon ihe pillows ' II-- n iu tho water! ho drowns! help! Inlp!" Wh i' h .il p(.p':ired is it wen. in ,i vi-ion t . the ten d r h d i l ihe si-t-T, had really lukeii place. Allied, detained the previous da by tho stum nnd the had conditioner ihn roads, found himsell farther fnmi his journoy's nim than ho had thou::ht. On tho morning id this day, whhdi stnilud so merrily from the blue sky, ho hoped easily to mako umeinls lor lost lime, ami ora evening to roach hii parents' houso. Already he saw iioni nmr, ino inouuiaiua in wuose nip lay uio p&iernai mansion i here, however, he had a bridgo to cross ore he readied tho hrst hill, it was torn away, and it would cost an hour's circuit to rench tbo mud. With the greatest impatience ho bore this delay: he know Ids sister's heart, her anxiety about him, should ho not return that day. At length he reached tho road again, but the utilumntil aim approach' d its setting, and misty clouds anno from tho mountains to receive tho sooner the wearied orb into their lap. Already had ho passed tho first lull ; tho well-known mountain stream now rushed hy him in muddy, stormy waves. Twilight disappeared, and with its departing lifiht ho arrived at the spot where this woodland stream was swallowed by tho great river, und iho hut hiidgo led over it nt the continence, This ton wna torn away by tho swollen Hood, and the stioam dn-diod w ildly ibmuh the echoing valo. Uut nhiht wai at hand ; they awaited him. Liddy was trembling with anxiety, she was perhaps already 111 with dread ho must force his way ! Iho postillion retneoa to urivo iiimngu tne raging water. ' What have 1 learned Uswirj (or?" cried Alfred flinging otV bii cloak and hat, and plunging into the bluateringitreatn.

Hut untiling more could be undertaken fur tint night, and the young lord was obliged to submit to the tm. lence of the priest, who. with p iterind care, decided that utitil uiorning Alhi'd tdiould not have hi room, nay, his bed even.

Ilo looked at every window, no otio whs to be seen; ho cnit a searching glance ut iho door, no one came to meet him, nnil yet Irmn the custle every coming vehicle could h deccriid nlar. This seemed strimuo to hira, und a troubled feeling, ns it were, a foreboding of miBioriutie, seized upon lus tntlierto so iiyoun heart. The carriago rolled in o the court yard, still uoono liore to grei-t the long expected one. At tint top of the steps the hoiiHs-chnplain, formerly his and Uddy's tutor, met him. The old man's mien, tlio very fnct of bin appearance, prepared Alfred to receive unpleasant news.

Hut so steadily was our determination, both in council and In conduct, so utterly careless of any action on their part, so perfectly omdi-dent of our own resources and power, and so regardless of all danger, that lliey wero paralyzed, and prudent and friendly mo a si ires wero decided.

Tho milwav bridge will mipUi nf two parts, each suspended bv two cables; a covered one (or common travel, nod abovo ihat, on its roof, nn open Iruck for tbo railroad. It was first intended to Imdd a bridge with a single floor, but tho difficulty of rend, ring h wild enough tor purposes of horse, foot and sleam locomotion atthosfii. e time, without making it too heavy and too expensive, caused tho plau to be abandoned.

In the hollom id each nf these, enlarged for the purpose, n cast-iron plate, mx feet square, was placed, in which nil inim- use chain was fastened, file id alt was then filled in with mis inry, the chain being imbed i-d inn mixture of cement, lime nnd siud. Theat chains rench the surface, outsido tlm huso of the tow i.r, tiiul are lo connect with the cables.

Nor can the plates and ch ainsgivo way from any force which can be withstood by the rallies d they nre calculated in withstand a pressure four times greater than tbo whole weight of ihe superstructure, combined w ith any loud that will over be placed upon it.

This -on irmu is miurejy new; lor, if i much the larger part ol the hu-iness of tlm Custom House, the Collector is guided hy the tv in laws, ami ),, (ltways acted without instructions 1mm the Secretary of tho Treasury. U is only in speci'il cub, where tho 1 iw is of doiibiful coiiBtr.ict.on, ur Hie duties of the Colbctor have not been fully proeribnl by biw, and where the Hocietary has a disiii-nsiiiu nower. that be hua hm., authorized to issue instructions to the Collect.us, And none ur ttiese cincs have any thing to do with tho up. point, neut of i IhV.eis nf the Customs. On that head, the rights and duties of both Secretary and Collector have been prescribed by CoiiWri'sa, mid neither imp conirot uio oilier when acting in Ins sphere. apprnpi into It', asyou appear to suppase, tho Collector can do nothing without instructions from your Department the buainess which is now trammeled iu the Custom Hoiiso in asinglu hour, noiild not ho uccmiiplishod iu a month, Vott hnvo evidently set too high an eMimate upon the extent of our lowers. The renson which you iuivo assigned lor this sweep, nig claim of authority, is ;ii extraordinary as the claim itself. Your words are, "Where the D.-partmont is not expressly empowered to give instructions to sulmr , dinates.it has the authority to do mi, as inherent iu tho I power to lemovnn reiraclnry oflicer." Now, as I roud ' the Communion, tho N.'cretury of the Treasury has no power to letimve aCollcctori however rei,,ctury he hi iy be. The power of rmuuvul, us well as appoint, rnent, is vosied in tlm President. You will do well, thon f .re, to look tor some better r- a-ou lh;m tho one you h ivo assigned for a limited uutli riiy ovi-rCu! lectors in tlm scb cljori of their agents. You think it singular that a gehtleman of my legal acquirements mid experience should loll p,to tho eimr d assuming Ihat the Collector uppointa Ihn virion persons employed in the Uiiamui House smile with tin approval of tho Hocretary, and sorno on iho sole Utnlnrity of Iho Collector. Singular us this may up pear to you, it is ihe course which has uniformly been pursued since the hum biUmi pf the Government. Weigher, menaurcr. U'digers, and inspectors? have b-vn appointed by tlm Collector, with tho approval of lh Secretary ; while clerks, porters, bargemen, labor-era, and mhera, hnvo been appoint, d by the Collector alone. t has md only been so umlernll former .Socre laries of tho Treasury, but during your own time. All my clerks, porters, cartinen, Inboiers, Sic, havo been appointed without coiisuttitig you in Uriy form; and you never intimated n doubt about tho propneiyoj ihiscourso until yon doomed it oxpodient to intetlero iu the local politics f Nw Vrk. S'ill you insist that the clerks and other agents of ihe Coliuctor "derivo their appointment and ih- ir an-jhorityas public otlicers from tho Sucretary of tho Treasury alone." The reason vou asaion for thia m-.v and extravagant claim will show that it is wlo.Hv w mom any P FIal loumtntiou. You elan, it on..., tllu Coiiaiiiutioii of the United aa'es, which nrovides tb.it "C uigress may, by law, vest the appointment of su h 10 -ion -oiK.eiH (li lltey III iy IUMIK prilpor 111 tile flM,l()i of ileptittiPMits." You tl uld thai "Congress has not attempted, nor il it bad, could it havo i-tfecled any modification of this provnion of iho tJonaitin ion '' And hence you conclude tint the appointment is in the S -c-etary. It is rtndily granted tint Coii.-rcss ha not. and cannot, mo lily the Constiiutioii. It jt Mtil your argument amounts to more thin this hecati-o Con- giess m iy. by law, vest the apiioiutmeiit of certain oili "' in ihe S-creiarynl ihrTrojsury, and Congress has uoi uiouoieu linn cimsutuuoii'll prnViaii Itiorefore I tboSe,Hetaryhasthepower.,fai.poll.,,,t.,,t.

Such is the law and the logic uf your letter. 1 ti ivo thtia tar r-ssuuietl ihat vuii nro rieht in too p aitig thai Iho clerks, porters, laborers,.-., in the custom houa-t, uro public ollicers within tho meaning of the Constitution, in million to appointments. Hit. in truth, they nre mere agents of tlm Collector, lo aid in tlm diicho.ge of ihe duties which tlm law has imposed upon him. They are the h inds bv win h In work and aro no more of livers in the s.-usts nf the Cmistitn : Hon than aro soldiers and auilors in llm Army and Navy, Th-y have never been lret. d or even iiem-ti u.ed by Congress ih ofli, ers, npp -inP-d by the Colli utor or any nun else, but only ua p-rBoiiB emjiloyed by tho Collector. I hazard nothing in stviri" ihn' the claim which you luvo now set up, has n-d a ahud nv of foundation, either in llmlnw of tho Ui.d or in uiyt..r-iti-T practice of ihe Government, ion apeat ot "uawirrauiahle asotnptioi.s." m.d n "inatiil'mt spirit of iiisubordinatton" mi niy part, ns a ground for iho removal.

For these reasons I havo not ftit at liberty to let your letter pass without Homo notice. am, respectfully, ymira, GliHHNH C. HliONSON. Jamks CuTiuns, Secretary of the Treasury. Tho other lottorisfrom Attorney Geporul Cuciiina to tho Editor of tho Uoxton Vott, and ia remarkable n indicating I,,, desire to bid lor some high place hereafter. C'1SHir.-o has boxed tho complies in politics. Ho was for many years a leiidimr Maasarbnaetia abb- am! was a Whig member of Congress from that Whig State. In the days of one J.m.v Trr.Kit, ho left his fiimnls and joined tho " Corporal' Guard " that surrounded that grmtlcmiiD. This was btep No. 1. Ilo soon slid over to Locofocoism, and camo out a full 1,1 1011 Hemocrut. Ho was appointed a Hrigadier (fonerul in the Mexican war by Poi.k, and failed to siguulizy himself by uny thing except falling into a cellar ono dark night and breuliitig his log while gab Unting sumo Mexican woman about town. I'pon Pikhck's accession, ho was appointed Attorney General, and it is currently reported, and generally believed that he has set his henrt upon the Presidency and is sotting his atukoR for that priz . Cu-uuno has talents, hut of his political integri'y tlm less that is said of it ho better, lie is far seeing enough to understand 'hat Iho miserable fuili m of diiorganiers, who call themselves Frmoikra, aro fast losing intluenco with iho men of sotiso nnd judgment in all sections of the Uuion, and he now steps forih and gives them a kick . Ho warns his friends in .Massachusetts, to go into no coalition with them, lb ar hispa'hetic appeal: WASiiiftOTo, Oct. 29, mn:!. DmrSir . I pi rceivo in several counties of Massa-i huseits.Coalilton Senatorial Tickets hnvo been formed of associated Domociats and Fret Boilers. My judg-mont is, that iho Democrats who havo participated in this havo done worse than to commit a fatal error; Umy have abandoned a principle which is futida mental. To support or vote for the Frocsoilera of Mas-saithusetts is to give countenance and power to persons engaged avowedly in the persistent agitation of iho davery question; and therefore hostile, in the extremes! degree, lo the determined policy of tha Ad-ministration. Tho President entertains immovable convictions on this point, us 1 have had occasion to express to you heretofore; und all of us whom ho has called to tbo public service here, must heartily and zealously sustaiu his views on the subject, as being the only ones consistent wilh personal honor, the succcel ol the Democrulio party, the general welfare of tho country, Iho integnty of tho Constitution, or the per-manoncyof thisUui.in. If there bo any purpose more lued than another in tho mind of the President, and ihoso with whcjin ho is accustomed to consult, it is, ilmt tho dangerous element of Abolitionism, under whatever guise or form it may present itself, shall he crushed r.ut, no tar as this Administration is concerned, fhis the ProMdent declared in his Inaugu nl. Thia he h is declared ever sinco, at ail times, and in ml places, when ha had occasion to speak on the sub-j"ct. While ho does not asumu to judge of tbo hearis ol men who publicly avow sound priuciplea, he only needs overt acts tn show where they are, in order that ids settled p du y in ihe conduct of the nffiirs of tho Government shall bo unequivocally manifested. Thiwe who havo apprehended hilling or hesitation on the part ot dm Prehiderit.iti treading any path which truth and pall iotiam open to him, will find themselves groat ly mistaken. Ilo is up to this occaaion. Ilis policy was not hastily settled. While ho occupies his present posilioii it will never ho deoarled l'n.oi Tlin.,n. aiituiioual rights of all tho States of Um Onion aro as nea at 10 mm tu the rights o New Humo him I h... perceived from iho onaet ihnt ilea pi,.,i .,r;,;nl.. ..r dm n.,M.i;t.;....i .;..i... .i .,. . u. ! . . .

All my clerks, porters, cartinen, Inboiers, Sic, havo been appointed without coiisuttitig you in Uriy form; and you never intimated n doubt about tho propneiyoj ihiscourso until yon doomed it oxpodient to intetlero iu the local politics f Nw Vrk. S'ill you insist that the clerks and other agents of ihe Coliuctor "derivo their appointment and ih- ir an-jhorityas public otlicers from tho Sucretary of tho Treasury alone." The reason vou asaion for thia m-.v and extravagant claim will show that it is wlo.Hv w mom any P FIal loumtntiou. You elan, it on..., tllu Coiiaiiiutioii of the United aa'es, which nrovides tb.it "C uigress may, by law, vest the appointment of su h 10 -ion -oiK.eiH (li lltey III iy IUMIK prilpor 111 tile flM,l()i of ileptittiPMits." You tl uld thai "Congress has not attempted, nor il it bad, could it havo i-tfecled any modification of this provnion of iho tJonaitin ion '' And hence you conclude tint the appointment is in the S -c-etary. It is rtndily granted tint Coii.-rcss ha not. and cannot, mo lily the Constiiutioii. It jt Mtil your argument amounts to more thin this hecati-o Con- giess m iy. by law, vest the apiioiutmeiit of certain oili "' in ihe S-creiarynl ihrTrojsury, and Congress has uoi uiouoieu linn cimsutuuoii'll prnViaii Itiorefore I tboSe,Hetaryhasthepower.,fai.poll.,,,t.,,t.

Such is the law and the logic uf your letter. 1 ti ivo thtia tar r-ssuuietl ihat vuii nro rieht in too p aitig thai Iho clerks, porters, laborers,.-., in the custom houa-t, uro public ollicers within tho meaning of the Constitution, in million to appointments.

It was purely a Now York quarrel, involving questions of mere State policy. In nucha quarrel, a member ol the Cabinet at Washington has taken sides, and bus, in ctlect, told the noiiiocratu of this State whom tlu y must select for their local rulers, and what should bo thoir policy in relation to the Canals and other tnat'ers of merely local intereaf.

For these reasons I havo not ftit at liberty to let your letter pass without Homo notice. am, respectfully, ymira, GliHHNH C. HliONSON. Jamks CuTiuns, Secretary of the Treasury. Tho other lottorisfrom Attorney Geporul Cuciiina to tho Editor of tho Uoxton Vott, and ia remarkable n indicating I,,, desire to bid lor some high place hereafter. C'1SHir.-o has boxed tho complies in politics. Ho was for many years a leiidimr Maasarbnaetia abb- am! was a Whig member of Congress from that Whig State. In the days of one J.m.v Trr.Kit, ho left his fiimnls and joined tho " Corporal' Guard " that surrounded that grmtlcmiiD. This was btep No. 1. Ilo soon slid over to Locofocoism, and camo out a full 1,1 1011 Hemocrut. Ho was appointed a Hrigadier (fonerul in the Mexican war by Poi.k, and failed to siguulizy himself by uny thing except falling into a cellar ono dark night and breuliitig his log while gab Unting sumo Mexican woman about town. I'pon Pikhck's accession, ho was appointed Attorney General, and it is currently reported, and generally believed that he has set his henrt upon the Presidency and is sotting his atukoR for that priz . Cu-uuno has talents, hut of his political integri'y tlm less that is said of it ho better, lie is far seeing enough to understand 'hat Iho miserable fuili m of diiorganiers, who call themselves Frmoikra, aro fast losing intluenco with iho men of sotiso nnd judgment in all sections of the Uuion, and he now steps forih and gives them a kick . Ho warns his friends in .Massachusetts, to go into no coalition with them, lb ar hispa'hetic appeal: WASiiiftOTo, Oct. 29, mn:!. DmrSir . I pi rceivo in several counties of Massa-i huseits.Coalilton Senatorial Tickets hnvo been formed of associated Domociats and Fret Boilers. My judg-mont is, that iho Democrats who havo participated in this havo done worse than to commit a fatal error; Umy have abandoned a principle which is futida mental. To support or vote for the Frocsoilera of Mas-saithusetts is to give countenance and power to persons engaged avowedly in the persistent agitation of iho davery question; and therefore hostile, in the extremes! degree, lo the determined policy of tha Ad-ministration. Tho President entertains immovable convictions on this point, us 1 have had occasion to express to you heretofore; und all of us whom ho has called to tbo public service here, must heartily and zealously sustaiu his views on the subject, as being the only ones consistent wilh personal honor, the succcel ol the Democrulio party, the general welfare of tho country, Iho integnty of tho Constitution, or the per-manoncyof thisUui.in. If there bo any purpose more lued than another in tho mind of the President, and ihoso with whcjin ho is accustomed to consult, it is, ilmt tho dangerous element of Abolitionism, under whatever guise or form it may present itself, shall he crushed r.ut, no tar as this Administration is concerned, fhis the ProMdent declared in his Inaugu nl. Thia he h is declared ever sinco, at ail times, and in ml places, when ha had occasion to speak on the sub-j"ct. While ho does not asumu to judge of tbo hearis ol men who publicly avow sound priuciplea, he only needs overt acts tn show where they are, in order that ids settled p du y in ihe conduct of the nffiirs of tho Government shall bo unequivocally manifested. Thiwe who havo apprehended hilling or hesitation on the part ot dm Prehiderit.iti treading any path which truth and pall iotiam open to him, will find themselves groat ly mistaken. Ilo is up to this occaaion. Ilis policy was not hastily settled. While ho occupies his present posilioii it will never ho deoarled l'n.oi Tlin.,n. aiituiioual rights of all tho States of Um Onion aro as nea at 10 mm tu the rights o New Humo him I h... perceived from iho onaet ihnt ilea pi,.,i .,r;,;nl.. ..r dm n.,M.i;t.;....i .;..i... .i .,. . u. ! . . .
